[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 3389164, member: 24500"] I fished out of Jon boats for a year. I didn't like it. Needed something small enough to carry to the water, but big enough to float two fatties. The 12 and 10 foot boats were just too unstable for me to stand and fish out of. Thought about buying a 14x48 or 56, but then I'd be back to limited lakes. My favorite honeyholes don't have ramps, it's a load it yourself thing. Rented a few kayaks, enjoyed the nimble and ease of em, but didn't like the fishing. Ended up with one of those 2-man bass boats from Academy. Scored it on clearance for $350 a few years ago. It's a pontoon so it's shockingly stable. Light enough to hoist from the truck to the bank. Add a battery and motor, good to go. I'd recommend to any other small water angler, though the guys on that forum go full send-it in big waters. Okeechobee, St. Lawrence, Mississippi, Gulf Coast. I wouldn't, but they swear it's solid enough for it. [/QUOTE]
